..and a bit
Meaning of life/how the universe works/where did we come from/how did it all start - same question
"It's a lot like life, Mark" Rabbi Lionel Blair
The universe is just a distressed wardrobe with a pair of BFO stone washed jeans in it and a big box of Lego on top of it.
I have a theory.
But I really can't be arsed.
Of course that doesn't mean that god created a brand new sparkly, straight out of the box universe then. He might of made a pre-aged one to spice things up a bit.
Or maybe he used a second-hand universe and just added a lick of paint. That would explain how he managed to get it all finished in 6 days.
Imagine an alien drops a package on earth with a load of fancy technology in it.
We can sit down and figure out how it all works, without wondering why the alien dropped it on us, can't we?
I've seen Mars Attacks, I'm not falling for that ruse.

I suspect the universe is 50 years old. It only exists in relation to me and that is when I created it 50 years ago at the time of my apparent "birth"
You are all figments of my imagination., without me you have no existence.

I've heard one theory that in the first few microseconds or so of the big bang, time had to be either elastic or the speed of light had to increase slightly. This, along with things like particle wave duality and 11 dimensional objects, caused me to drop physics. I just don't think we, as humans, are capable of truly understanding this stuff in any meaningful way. I still love physics, but I love maths more.
The grains of sand on a beach may be infinite as are the grains of sand in the world. However we still know which is the larger of the two infinities.
Sorry JY, but this is the worst analogy ever. The grains of sand on a beach are not infinite, nor will they ever be.
Realman - you don't have to assimilate that stuff with the every day world. There's just no need. So don't sweat it, and don't drop Physics kids 🙂
